the scores indicate Justin was quite impressed...looks like a pretty competent vehicle for the class.

i had one for a loaner this past fall.  it was the cvt version / sport model.  nothing sporty but about it but it was decent.

The infotainment compared to my 2018wrx is by far improved and sound system is good.  To the rest of the other offerings, subaru is catching up finally.  it's not the best.

What surprised me, was the subaru eyesight.  at first, i was apprehensive but by the end loved it.  it's great and could use in any daily driver. 

I wasn't a fan of the engine/cvt combo.  I was surprised on little power there was and how hard it was on fuel also.  i was averaging low 10's in start of the colder weather in Ottawa and it was worse fuel economy than my 18wrx in similar conditions.  It shows the 2L is lacking a bit HP dept and be lot better if this car was around 170hp range.

Coming from impreza in the 90's (RS COupe), 2011wrx sedan and 2018wrx sedan,  i wouldn't buy this current impreza model.
